Jack Thompson Sets His Sights On Halo 3
GamePolitics is reporting that anti-game advocate Jack Thompson is seeking to have Halo 3 declared a nuisance to the public in Florida. He tried the same stunt with Bully, and failed then too. "As with Bully, Thompson clearly hopes the court will grant him a hearing. Although after last year's well-publicized Bully performance, which earned Thompson a Bar complaint from presiding Judge Ronald Friedman, that seems unlikely. More troubling by far are the long term implications of this action. Thompson apparently feels emboldened to invoke Florida's public nuisance law against any video game he desires to target. That is the essence of censorship and the video game industry cannot allow it to continue on any number of grounds - legal, moral or creative."
He minus well = Jack Thompson is a sick puppy.
I think Jack Thompson misunderstood the tagline - "FINISH THE FIGHT".
In soviet russia you drive jokes nuts...
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what your country did to you
So, what you are saying is...
Jack Thompson = Family Guy?

... Goliath actually manages to kill David.
Couldn't Jack Thompson be considered a nuisance at this point?
I want a lawyer on here right now to tell me if I have a case!

He minus well ...
Brilliant. Truly brilliant. The best part is its not even close to the actual letters for the word(s) he meant to say. So I take that to mean he really believes thats what people are saying when they use that phrase. That cracked me up, seriously, that had me Latching Out Lard.
Just say that it promotes racism by having human beings mercilessly kill aliens. If that is not a **race** war, I don't know what is.
Hey, this shit works for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, right?
IMHO Jack Thompson is a nuisance to the public himself.
I suffer from attention surplus disorder.
I took a look through it, and one thing struck me odd:
Jack says (in the lawsuit filing) that the release date for Halo 3 is: October 25th, 2007.
Real release date? Tomorrow.
FAIL, Jack. FAIL.

Since I can't tell them apart, I treat all ACs as the same person.
Game software has resulted in too much frivolity.
The best argument against posting corrections on posters' spelling and grammar (and whatever the hell this was): Slashdot readers believe your comment was informative.
Jack Thompson is the real public nusiance.
I am not a lawyer. This post does not constitute any form of legal advice.
minus well? MINUS WELL? It's "might as well".
I thought he meant "midas well". You know, that bottomless pit full of gold?

Thompson: As you can see, this so-called "game" features underlying propoganda... ...where? ...Veiled commands of violence against others... ...and subliminal messages designed to turn our children into soulless killing machines.
Judge:
Thompson:
Judge: What?
Thompson:
Judge: I'm sorry, I don't see it. The court finds in favor of the defendent. Viva Pinata may remain on shelves.

Its a doggy dog world out here. Theirs no room for bad grammar in todays business world.
Someone should file a public nuisance claim on Jack Thompson. This guys is an idiot, and it might rub off on our kids. Think of the Children for crying out loud.
For all intensive purposes your wright. Its to bad I don't have no mod point's but if I did I would of. Irregardless, you'r point is much more affective then the usual drivel around hear.
